In 1320 Scotland's nobles and barons drew up the defiant Declaration of Arbroath, which would serve as a model for America's Declaration of Independence 456 years later. The US Congress created Tartan Day in 1898, but it was not observed nationally until 1997. source: Jeffrey Kacirk's Forgotten English Desk calendar ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~ |
